Ok, I can't seem to stop on my own. I have days now where I can go without, but keep slipping. I am considering the Antibuse, but I'm so scared that I won't be able to handle it. When I feel trapped I can have an anxiety attack--and I am afraid that if I took Antibuse, and then started craving alcohol, I would flip out. I can see where it is very helpful as a tool, but, then what? People who are on it seem to need to be on it for a long time. Then sometimes the minute they go off they slip--what good is that? Please explain how that works--how it is helpful in the long term. What are your experiences. I know I should go back and read all of this thread. I have been reading on and off. I realize it helps a lot of people, but what I want to know is: (1) how do you get through the initial "panic", and (2) how do you know when you can stop
and do it on your own? What makes you able to do that? Thanks!
